How To Make fish with lemon, butter & caper sauce

  • Step 1
    Three fillets rinsed and cut in half. I used pangasius here but I also like to use barramundi. I cut the fillets in half to make them easier to handle in the pan.
  • Step 2
    Season the fillets on both sides with lemon pepper, place the flour in a shallow dish and coat the fillets with flour and shake off excess.
  • Step 3
    Melt half the butter in a large non stick pan on medium high heat. Cook the fillets in batches, to golden brown, takes only a few minutes each side.
  • Step 4
    Remove to a serving plate, cover to keep warm.
  • Step 5
    When the fillets are all done, same hot pan, add the remaining butter, lemon or lime juice, zest, capers, and parsley. Stir and heat for one minute.
